Orbital shakers work by generating a horizontal circular shaking motion at low to high speed enough for mixing liquids in flasks or tubes. They are excellent for culturing cells.
The orbital shakers' mechanism involves a motor attached to a platform that holds the vessels as the device shakes to blend, agitate, or mix substances in the vessels.
An incubator shaker is a type of laboratory shaker that comes with heating and/or refrigeration capabilities. It helps incubate or refrigerate your samples while mixing at the same time.
Shakers are ideal for applications like bacterial suspension, solubility studies, growth of bacteria and yeast, extraction procedures, washing procedures, diagnostics tests, hybridization, general mixing, staining & destaining, mixing, and extracting.
OrbiCult™ Shaker has eight (8) available accessories. List of options and accessories includes universal platform, dedicated platform, flask clamp, test tube rack, microplate holder (supports 6 standard deep-well plates), utility carrier (holds glassware), sticky mat, and gas manifold (for IBS).
Incubator Benchtop Shaker (IBS) has an advanced control system that can set up to 15 step program.
No. Never mix gases in a gas manifold as it may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
Esco offers dedicated platforms with flask clamps of different sizes already installed. Kindly specify the flask/vessel size when ordering.
For protein expression applications, the required temperature is usually below 10°C, which can be achieved by the Refrigerated Incubator Benchtop Shaker (IBS-R-_-_).
Both Refrigerated and Non-Refrigerated Incubator Benchtop Shakers (IBS-R and IBS-NR) can be used since both models can reach 80°C.
The larger orbit diameter (25 mm) is more suitable for applications that require a lower speed limit. Due to its large diameter, it helps produce a higher aeration rate for the sample. On the other hand, the smaller orbit diameter (19 mm) is fit for applications that require higher speed. It has a higher maximum load capacity of 30 kg than the 25 mm (25 kg).
The maximum flask size for OrbiCult™ Ambient Shaker is 6 L flask. For OrbiCult™ Incubator Benchtop Shaker, it is a 2.8 L flask.
The IBS OrbiCult™ Shaker's maximum data logging duration is 24 hours.
The IBS OrbiCult™ Shaker has a memory capacity of up to 2MB.
